iPhone 6 A8 GPU benchmark suggests it's behind the curve Comments

nouben, 12 Sep 2014Only less than 5% faster !In the presentation they said 50% boost in graphics over A7!
Im really disappointed because the A7 really nailed it and was on par with latest sp800 (at the time)...
Now qualcomm gonna crash the A8 with the 805 and 810.
All that said, Iphones are known for being less demanding than android in terms of raw processing power, so it will be interesting to see how to A8 fares in real life perfornance and the latest qualcomm chips

X, 12 Sep 2014Just remember that the S5 processor runs at 2.3 GHz while the A8 at 1.4 GHz. Anyway you can be... moreI don't think that the s3 lags that much because I own one , and it runs very good .It doesen't matter what phone you have , but it matters if you know how to optimize it .You can install cyanogenmod and it will perform better and some other tweaks and you'll notice no lag ever.

Joey, 12 Sep 2014I just pre ordered the iphone 6, android phones may be a but cheaper but then you have to buy ... more"expensive sd cards" -- Surely you must mean EXPANSIVE, as they EXPAND your phones memory. Otherwise that's just plain dumb, as they are the cheapest way to purchase flash memory and the reason the whole tech industry (from cameras to industrial machines) now use them.

Had S2 and S3, it lags. But I'm currently using HTC One (m7) with SD600(3 generations behind those current high end Snapdragon) but still performs marvelously despite having used it for slightly more than a year now. Recent Nexuses are great consistent performer too. HTC One m8 is buttery smooth too.

Anyway you can be... moreFunny, just recently I had in hands the iPhone of the same epoch as the S3 (the 4S) and it lagged much more significantly than any other decent Android that ever came through my hands.

I have no doubts that even todays very low-end Androids perform better than that.

Bottom line: Time passes by for all models, it's not just the Androids that get outdated...

lele, 12 Sep 2014Damn. That's a very nice gpu you have there. I'm a android user but honestly that hexa and a8... moreFun fact for you: The A8 cant match the SD800 even in lower resolutions. SD805 with Android L...

but do you have a friend that owns an one m7 or one m8 they are fast when they are new and till now i think that is the best devices for android i really like the new i phone but if it just had the sound quality of the one m8 i would buy right now and i mean both speaker and head phone

apple fans buy the brand and not the spec, thats why apple charge stupid money and stupid ppl will pay for that apple badge. they will argue all day long that iphone 6 is best phone on planet, when the rest of us just snigger at knowing the truth.
all i can say is i envy apple they can pull the wool over so many ppl faces and make huge profits, bravo apple

Just remember that the S5 processor runs at 2.3 GHz while the A8 at 1.4 GHz. Anyway you can bet that the iPhone 6 will run as smooth as in the first day, 2-3 years from now, while the S5 will lag like hell. Just like a S3 lags now. My S3 lags for 2-4 seconds when unlocking the screen, while my wife's iPhone 5 doesn't have any problems.
